thing that the Southern orator keeps on hand

old confederate element to stand together and
make common cause against Northern politicians

One of the Lost Arts Of Crime.


One of the Lost Arts Of Crime.
New York Commercial Advertiser.
An industry which was form .rly Of great i'm
portance, but which has dwindled into compare
tive insgnificance. is the manufacture of coun-
terfeit money. 1t had many able opponents.
but, like many more exalted occupations, it has
suffered from the want of proper system Of ap-
premiership. Tho great masters of a genera
tion ago have disappeared. either through death
other enforced retirement. and no one has
been trained 60 take their places. The chief
cause of this in the opinion of the national bank
officer. who was discussing the question recent
ly is the increased vigilance and activity of the
government
''The task OF tho government, however, has
been very much easier" said he, 'by reason Of
the fact that since the war there have been no
State banks TO issue currency. Under the old
system there were so many styles of bills that it
was almost impossible to keep track of them all,
to distinguish the counterfeit from the
genuine The difficulty was all the greater be-
grade of workmanship that it was very easy
to counterfeit them. Consequently, counter
feiting was a regular business During the war.
when the governments had its hands full of other
matters, tho business fourished. For some
time after the war; also. counterfeiting was very
common"
what else has hurt the businessv =
ssWell, the processes OF manufacturing both
delicate and costly. To turn out absolutely
perfect bill or coin now requires very expensive
and bulky machinery. No counterfeiter has the
money to buy such machinery. and no p lace to
put it up in If no had it. Consequently his
goods are inferior and easily detected. In for
mer time asskillful workman could turn out
queer" money just as good looking as the gen.
nine. Processes Of manufacture were simple.
Then it was impossible to crush the business
even with q liberal use of death penalty. Now
counterfeit note or coin is seldom seen in bank
Genteel crooks have turned from counterfeiting
to the 'sawdusr game. It is safer and more
profitable"
